# Platform Inclusions

### Introduction

By default, files added to Glue will automatically be added to all associated Visual Studio projects. Some files, however, are only needed on some platforms. Files can be excluded from certain projects through the Platform Inclusions tab. Note that this tab will only appear when a file is selected in Glue project which has more than one code solution (added through [Project Sync](https://github.com/flatredball/FlatRedBallDocs/tree/main/documentation/tools/glue-reference/menu/glue-reference-menu-file-new-synced-project.md)).

### Inclusions Details

Excluding a file from a project will exclude the project from the Visual Studio .csproj or .contentproj, but the code generation currently does not consider whether the file has been excluded. This means that code generation may throw a file not found exception (or equivalent) when the project executes on a platform from which the file has been excluded. For this reason, files should only be excluded when [LoadedAtRuntime](/flatredball/glue-reference/files/glue-reference-loadedatruntime.md) is set to false.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/glue-reference/files/platform-inclusions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
